Waving his arms and kicking his legs,
the little prince appeared to reach out and shake the hand of members of
the official welcoming party and took a keen interest in the posy of
flowers Kate was presented with.

Once the official welcomes were over, it was the turn of George’s Spanish-born nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, to carry him.

It is the first time Miss Turrion Borrallo has been photographed holding George and she placed him carefully in a car seat inside an official limousine.

The prince was given his own police escort to Admiralty House, the official residence in Kirribilli of the Governor-General – the Queen’s official representative in Australia – where the royal party will stay for five days.
